World Apostolate of Fatima's U.S. Tour for Peace is coming to our Diocese! The historic tour, marking the 100th Anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima, Portugal, will feature the world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue, traveling worldwide for nearly 70 years. The tour runs through all 50 states and will be an extraordinary occasion of healing, hope, and grace. Any who have been in the presence of this special Statue (created in 1947 based on Sr. Lucia's description of her encounters with Our Lady) know that. I hope you'll be able to experience the blessing of gathering with others devoted to Our Lady when the statue visits these parishes in our Diocese: October 20th - St. John Before the Latin Gate, Bartlesville 918-336-4353; Mass 8:30 am (7:00 am – 5:00 pm) Holy Family Cathedral, Tulsa 918-582-6247; Mass 8:00 pm (8:00 pm – 12:00 am) October 21st – Holy Family Cathedral, Tulsa 918-582-6247; Mass 8:00 am (8:00 am – 11:00 am) DCYC at UMAC, Tulsa; Mass 4:00 pm (3:30 pm – 9:00 pm) October 22nd – St. Anthony’s, Okmulgee 918-756-4385; Mass 10:00 am (change of MASS time) (7:00 am – 5:00 pm) This epic journey across the United States is to allow Our Lady of Fatima, the Queen of Peace, to claim her dominion over our country and to bring the message of Fatima—the Peace Plan from heaven—to a world in need. Our Lord told Sister Lucia that he had placed the peace of the world in the Immaculate Heart. The Pilgrim Virgin Statue has visited more than 100 countries, bringing Mary's powerful and timeless message of salvation and hope to millions. Countless favors and graces have been reported wherever the Virgin Statue has traveled. Please join us!
